Episode 8 recap: Deng Li Jun was taken to the police station.
Duan Ning was very distressed as her parents were getting divorced, and it was difficult for her to see her father pretending everything was fine. Deng Li Jun could only comfort her. Duan Ning mentioned that her tutor was very skilled, and that he could even sing English songs. Deng Li Jun was interested in going to see him, but Duan Ning was worried her mother would scold her if she found out.
As Deng Li Jun and Duan Ning walked past the music hall, they encountered the woman who had argued with Li Yan, who was criticizing the requirements for singing on stage - that one needed a good voice, short skirts, and to interact with the audience, which Deng Li Jun felt she could not do. Duan Ning thought it was best to avoid trouble.
After returning home, Deng Li Jun told her brothers that she really wanted to perform on stage, but they felt it would not be easy and that their father would likely not approve. The eldest brother tried to encourage them, but Deng Li Jun was still worried about her father's opposition.
The next morning, to Deng Li Jun's surprise, her mother Zhao Su Gui had already heard about her desire to perform and agreed to let her do it, much to Deng Li Jun's delight.
While shopping, Zhao Su Gui and Chen Jie saw Duan Ning's father with another woman, which troubled them. Duan Ning later told Zhou Tai Sheng about her friend Deng Li Jun, and he said he would be happy to meet her.
At the music hall, the manager, Xiao Chun, was unwilling to let the band help Deng Li Jun, but Deng Li Jun's second brother brought them all refreshments, and the band teacher agreed to rehearse with Deng Li Jun.
Deng Li Jun had her first portrait photo taken in her little dress, which made Xiao Chun jealous. When Zhou Tai Sheng dropped Duan Ning off, he noticed Deng Li Jun practicing singing at the door and was immediately captivated by her.
On the second day, Zhou Tai Sheng went to the music store and bought Mandarin songs, because he had heard Deng Li Jun singing and started to develop a liking for Mandarin songs. When Zhou Tai Sheng was tutoring Duan Ning, he was listening to Mandarin songs from the past. When Zhou Min went to the photo studio to pick up the family portrait, the shopkeeper accidentally included Deng Li Jun's photo in the middle.
When Zhou Min went to get the photos, he accidentally dropped Deng Li Jun's photo on the ground. After seeing this, Zhou Tai Sheng quietly took the photo back with him. In the following days, Deng Li Jun would practice singing every day, and Zhou Tai Sheng would climb the wall to greet him, also asking why he was always singing that song. Deng Li Jun then said that they felt they didn't understand the feeling behind the song.
Zhou Tai Sheng shared his understanding of the song with her. When Deng Li Jun's elder brother came to pick her up, Zhou Tai Sheng asked where she was performing, but Deng Li Jun didn't say and quickly left. The third brother personally took Deng Li Jun to the performance. At that time, Xiao Chun was still singing on stage and kept greeting the audience. When Xiao Chun saw Deng Li Jun standing at the edge of the stage, she got angry and deliberately pushed Deng Li Jun out, but Deng Li Jun reacted quickly and directly went on stage to start singing. The audience really enjoyed Deng Li Jun's singing, and the performance was very successful.
After returning home, Deng Li Jun told her mother Zhao Su Gui about the scene on stage, and Zhao Su Gui asked her to keep her voice down so that her father Deng Shu wouldn't find out. Deng Li Jun felt that she couldn't be easily recognized by everyone when she sang, and she still wanted to have her own unique style.
Deng Li Jun asked her fifth brother to cover his eyes and listen to her singing, but it was still not easy for him to distinguish. Zhou Tai Sheng had been teaching Duan Ning English, but her grades had not improved. Zhou Tai Sheng was even considering resigning, and Duan Ning said it was because her father had an affair.
Zhou Tai Sheng felt that they needed evidence, and Duan Ning planned to take Zhou Tai Sheng to see the evidence. Coincidentally, they met Deng Li Jun, who wanted Duan Ning to help her identify the characteristics of her singing voice. Zhou Tai Sheng readily agreed and also pointed out the characteristics of Deng Li Jun's singing.
Duan Ning quickly called Zhou Tai Sheng, and the two of them waited at the office entrance. Sure enough, they saw Duan Ning's father leaving with a woman. Aunt Chen and the third brother would accompany Deng Li Jun to the performances every day, but just before the performance, Deng Li Jun's clothes went missing, and everyone backstage was very anxious about it.
